Our intention is to give proper representation for women and backward classes, said Rahul Gandhi, the congress General Secretary while interacting with the students. There is no sufficient infrastructure available to ensure proper education to all, he added. “What we are trying to do is open the doors of politics to all so that anyone can come on their merit without any support or recommendations. That is what we are trying to do in YC and NSUI” said Rahul Gandhi.

Priyanka Gandhi has a special place in the hearts of the people, especially in Amethi and Raebareli, the parliament constituencies of her brother Rahul Gandhi and mother Sonia Gandhi respectively. Wherever she goes, people shower a lot of affection and love towards her. Priyanka Gandhi also shows the same feelings a to the people, in return. It is the people who make a leader, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra always reminded people.

Once again expressing his displeasure for not delegating
power to panchayats in some of the states, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi
declared that he would fight for empowerment of the panchayat bodies. Rahul Gandhi always believed that country can
not develop till democracy reaches the grass root and it will be possible if
panchayats were given proper power and authority.

During the recent interaction with the panchayat
representatives in Ranchi,
Rahul Gandhi expressed his concern for the fact that panchayat members are not
getting required power. "Rahulji was disappointed when he learnt that
panchayat bodies have not yet got any power to execute developmental
works," Congress leader said who had attended the interactive session said.

Jharkhand Youth Congress President Jai Mangal Singh attended
a separate meeting in Bokaro, said, "Rahulji told us he would fight for
the rights of panchayats after he learnt that devolution of powers has not yet
taken place in Jharkhand."

Our intention is to give proper representation for women and backward classes, said Rahul Gandhi, the congress General Secretary while interacting with the students. There is no sufficient infrastructure available to ensure proper education to all, he added. “What we are trying to do is open the doors of politics to all so that anyone can come on their merit without any support or recommendations. That is what we are trying to do in YC and NSUI” said Rahul Gandhi.

Your MP Sonia Gandhi has been putting in her sincere efforts for the development but the state government creates hurdles, said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Raebareli. She explained about the electrification works done by the initiative of Sonia Gandhi in the region as well as the efforts for the Railway coach factory. It is the people who make a leader, said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Raebareli. Politics means service and it is not a business, she added.

There is no sufficient infrastructure available to ensure proper education to all, he added. We need more and more good institutes, said Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi. “What we are trying to do is open the doors of politics to all so that anyone can come on their merit without any support or recommendations. That is what we are trying to do in YC and NSUI” said Rahul Gandhi.

Embarrassing the BJP party and leadership, its senior leader
and former Karnataka chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa heaped praises on the
Nehru-Gandhi family and lashed out at his own party chief Nitin Gadkari and
veteran leader L.K. Advani.

“The Congress leadership from Pandit Nehru to Sonia Gandhi
did not go back on their promises to their party leaders" said
Yeddyurappa. "This quality needs to be appreciated," he told
reporters in Bangalore
as Gadkari and other BJP leaders attended the last day of a party meet in
Surajkund in Haryana.

"Till Atal Behari Vajpayee's time, this was the case in
BJP also. But not now," BSY added. An immediate fallout of Yeddyurappa's
outburst appeared to be the BJP leadership dropping plans to name a successor
to incumbent state unit chief K.S. Eshwarappa, whose term ends this month-end.

The timing of his comments is very important. He has praised
Congress President and Congress party at a time when the BJP’s national
executive is underway in Haryana.

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi,
who was on a two-day visit to Jharkhand, urged the party leaders and workers in
the state on Thursday to give up factional politics which was harming the party
interests in the state.

"Rahulji told us that there is groupism in the state
Congress party. Had it not been there the Congress strength in Jharkhand
assembly would have been 25 to 30 MLAs," an AICC member, who attended a
party meeting chaired by Gandhi here, said, quoting him.

Earlier addressing Youth Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi
called upon them to work earnestly so that the people threw out the present
government and vote the Congress to power in Jharkhand. The Congress General
Secretary called upon the youth Congress leaders to be fearless and overcome
all difficulties in strengthening the party.

Rahul Gandhi was on a two-day visit to the state to
rejuvenate the Congress ahead of the next general elections. He also held
meetings with the Congress workers from top to bottom and listened to their
problems seriously.

Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi is interacting with the students. He said that we need more and more quality institutes to provide better education. There is no sufficient infrastructure available to ensure proper education to all, he added. We need more and more good institutes, said Rahul Gandhi. “What we are trying to do is open the doors of politics to all so that anyone can come on their merit without any support or recommendations. That is what we are trying to do in YC and NSUI” said Rahul Gandhi.

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi is addressing the function to inaugurate the new Ryan International school in Raebareli. Sonia Gandhi expressed hope that the people of Raebareli will be able to get better education now and she also appreciated the Ryan school management for the efforts to improve the quality of education.

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra slammed the non-Congress UP government for creating obstructions for the development works initiated by Congress President and MP Sonia Gandhi for Raebareli. ‘Your MP Sonia Gandhi has been putting in her sincere efforts for the development but the state government creates hurdles’, said Priyanka Gandhi Vadra in Raebareli. She explained about the electrification works done by the initiative of Sonia Gandhi in the region as well as the efforts for the Railway coach factory.

Congress President and UPA Chairperson proved once again
that welfare of aam aadmi is her most important concern. While initiating the
schemes like MNREGA, RTE, RTI and food security bills, she has now asked the
Central government not to increase the price of sugar distributed under the PDS
system. A meeting of the Congress core committee headed by Sonia Gandhi asked
the government to put off the decision as of now. Despite Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh argued in favour of increasing the sugar prices in the meeting
and pointing out that the government has to cut the subsidies to reduce the
fiscal deficit, Sonia Gandhi was not in favour of such a move at present.

She was always concerned about the poor and underprivileged.
Their pain was her pain. When a massive earth quake jolted Jammu Kashmir, she
took time to reach there without any delay to console the victims and extended
all her help and support to help the affected people. She expressed her concern
and pain when a drastic Tsunami hit Indian coastal areas. Her deep concern for
the aggrieved was also seen during the flood in Gujarat, Maharashtra and
Himachal, during the terrorist attack in Delhi as well as when a number of
persons were killed during the recent riots in Assam.

For Sonia Gandhi politics is not power but a way to serve
the people. The perfect example is her refusal of the post of Prime Minister
when UPA was voted to power. “I always listen to the voice of my inner conscience.
I have said on many occasions that my target is not the Prime Ministership.
Today my inner conscience tells me to politely refuse the post” was the
statement by the Congress President when asked about her turning down the post
of Prime Minister.

Yes Sonia Gandhi is always concerned for the common man and
welfare of aam aadmi has always been her mission. As the UPA chairperson Sonia
Gandhi was instrumental in framing the policies like MNREGA, RTE, RTI and her
next target is to get the Right to Food Bill is passed. Sonia Gandhi has been
putting in her all sincere initiative for more important schemes and policies
for the welfare of aam aadmi.

“Rajiv Gandhi had a great vision to improve the quality of education especially in villages. That is why he implemented the Navoday Vidyalay scheme”, said Congress President Sonia Gandhi. The Congress-led UPA government also having the vision to improve the primary and secondary education in our country and the government has been making policies in this direction, said Sonia Gandhi.

The people in the villages have the real strength. And we should go to them to realize this strength, said Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi in Lucknow. The Congress-led UPA government at the centre has been sending huge amounts of funds for the development of Uttar Pradesh. But the money vanishes and does not reach the beneficiaries, concerned the Congress MP from Amethi.

It is our moral responsibility to ensure that every girl child also gets proper education like boys, said Congress President and UPA Chairperon Sonia Gandhi in Raebareli. While talking at the inaugural function of Ryan Public School in the region Sonia Gandhi said that country can not surge ahead if the women remain backward. Empowerment of women is important for development, said the Congress MP from Raebareli.

Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi has been managing the Congress-led UPA government at the centre very effectively. Her effective intervention has helped the government to solve a number of issues. Further, as the chairman of NAC, Sonia Gandhi played important role to frame the policies like MNREGA, Right to Education, Right to Information and Sarva Siksha Abhiyan.

Members of the Congress Working Committee members met at the residence of the Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday to review the political situation after the announcement of economic reforms announced by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh last week. Congress President Sonia Gandhi said that the tough decisions were the need of the hour. She also attacked the BJP for playing "negative politics. While stressing the urgent need to improve the economic situation, she said "new allies" will move in.
Rahul Gandhi raised the issue of killing of panchayat members in Jammu & Kashmir. He said one should take note of the fact that non-implementation of panchayat raj in the state is behind the killings.

The Nehru-Gandhi family always stood for the country and worked sincerely for its development. From Motilal Nehru to young generation members like Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi, their services for the country as well as for the Congress party are unmatchable. The present Congress President Sonia Gandhi also has been performing excellently as the Congress President with an innovative vision and pro-poor ideology.
Motilal Nehru, an advocate by profession, in 1921 had submitted before the court while appearing for a case that he gave up his lawyer profession to be engaged in social service. He also had informed that he is leaving the job of a lawyer which, at that time, fetched about Rs. 5 lac per annum. Only a true lover of nation can take such an unbelievable decision- to quit a lucrative profession and work for the nation. After Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, now Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra are all following Motilal Nehru’s footsteps.
Addressing a function organized at the Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi, to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the great freedom fighter Motilal Nehru, Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi paid rich tributes to the great leader. “Motilal Nehru believed that the county was above any community or sect” said Mrs. Gandhi. She also remembered that Motilal Nehru laid the foundation of modern inclusive parliamentary democracy.

The nation on Tuesday remembered freedom fighter and former
Congress President Pandit Motilal Nehru on his 150th birth anniversary.
Addressing a commemorative function organized at the Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi, Congress
President and UPA Chairperson Mrs. Sonia Gandhi paid rich tributes to the great
freedom fighter.

“Motilal Nehru believed that the county was above any
community or sect” said Mrs. Gandhi. She also remembered that Motilal Nehru
laid the foundation of modern inclusive parliamentary democracy. The Congress
President asked the countrymen to counter the extremist and deviant forces that
are challenging well laid-out democratic values of equality and social justice.

“Motilal Nehru was a
committed soldier to freedom struggle and was twice president of the Indian
National Congress. Sadly, Motilal Nehru did not live to see India achieve
independence. But his love for India
manifested itself in his ability to shed the trappings of material and
professional success; indeed his all way of life and devoted his later years to
that goal. Apart from his legislative works he laid great stress on communal
harmony and national unity” said the Congress President.

Sonia Gandhi said further “Staunchly secular, he always
believed that communal passions are inconsistent with the true spirit of
religion or the traditions of our country. History’s his singular contribution
that can be laid at his doorstep it is the visions spelt out in what has passed
into history as the Nehru Report of 1928 which he authored”.

“Our modern inclusive parliamentary democracy owes much to
this seminal document which outlined a system of government in which all could
vote and all could be free to practice the faith. It laid the foundation for
equal rights of men and women, for fundamental rights for all, for directive
principles and the Supreme Court.All
these have been already incorporated into our constitution” added Sonia Gandhi.

Sonia Gandhi recollected that Motilal Nehru never bowed to
the sentiments of caste, sect or community which were being propagated by his
opponents. “This was unthinkable for him. He firmly believed that country is
above any community or sect” she added.
